Who is RaavanaÂs Mandodhari?
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 07 2009]
Mani RatnamÂs ÂRaavana steals a lot of attention, both for good and the dark reasons. He is busy churning out ÂRaavanaÂ, the bilingual project, in spite of lay-backs.
The director had at times remade epics into modern day stories ever since ÂThalapathi (story of Karna from Mahabharata). And inspired by ÂRamayanaÂ, he is working on ÂRaavana with lots of diligence to bring it out as a masterwork.
As per his plan, for the Hindi version the characters based on Rama and Seetha is played by Abhishek and Aish while Vikram would play the shades of Ravana. On the other hand the Tamil version will have Vikram replacing AbhishekÂs role and would pair up with Aish. Prithiviraj would play the baddie in this version. We are also aware that Priyamani is roped in for the role of ÂSurpanagai for both the versions.
But, for quite some time there is a delay in fixing up an actress for the role of Mandodhari (RavanaÂs wife). As most of us know, the gorgeous Nayantara has refused this juicy offer from the maverick movie maker. It was said that she turned down the role of Mandodhari as there was no glamour quotient. Guess what? A small birdie says that Mani Sir is now eying Reema Sen, for the same role. The ÂAayirathil Oruvan girl is still busy with the projectÂs patch work. But Suhasni Mani Ratnam had directly approached Selvaragavan and had asked for his permission to hire the lady for her husbandÂs project just for ten days.
Be it ten days or fifty days, will Selvaragavan allow Reema to cross his territory?
